100+ companies offering big data security solutions were analyzed of which 25 companies were shortlisted and categorized on a quadrant under Visionary Leaders, Innovators, Dynamic Differentiators, and Emerging Leaders.

IBM Corporation, Oracle, Symantec, Amazon Web Services, Informatica, Check Point Software, Imperva, and HPE have been identified as visionary leaders as they have established product portfolios and a robust market presence and business strategy.

Gemalto, AlienVault, FireEye, Proofpoint, Hortonworks, Thales Group, and Centrify have been identified as innovators as they have focused product portfolios, but a mediocre business strategy.

McAfee, Microsoft, LogRhythm, and Cloudera have been recognized as dynamic differentiators. DataVisor, Gigamon, Zettaset, Rapid7, Pivotal, and Fortinet have been identified as emerging companies as they have a niche product offering but poor business strategy.

The methodology used to rank big data security solutions companies involved the use of extensive secondary research to identify key vendors by referring to annual reports, press releases, investor presentations, white papers, and various related directories and databases. 25 key vendors were shortlisted on the basis of their breadth of product offerings, organization size, and other criteria. The scores and weights for shortlisted vendors against each parameter were finalized post research. After the ratings were finalized, each vendor was placed in respective quadrants based on their score in the product offering and business strategy parameters.
